The Archaeological Museum - Silistra is located  in a building (cultural monument) built between 1923 and 1926 as a branch of the Romanian National Bank in the town. Since 1990 the Archeological Exposition of The Regional Museum of History -Silistra is located there. The exhibition covers an area of 400 square meters and includes monuments from prehistoric, ancient and medieval times.

The prehistoric collection contains unique exhibits, such as the treasure of copper axes and adzes  from the V millennium BC, the treasure of bronze sickles and axes dating to II millennium BC.

Unique with the scene presented on it is the sundial with the image of Orpheus. The fully preserved tomb statue of a young Roman woman of  Pudicitia type (modest, innocent) is emblematic.

The exposition includes rich and various exhibits from the medieval Drastar, the most important center in the Northeastern territories of the Bulgarian state after Pliska and Preslav, as well as from the fortresses around it. Among them are a column of Khan Omurtag, the seals of the Bulgarian and Byzantine rulers and dignitaries, a gilded belt of a Drastar aristocrat, gold earrings with a Terter monogram, and one of the largest collections of medieval crosses from  X-XIII centuries.

Especially  attractive are the copy of the Roman chariot from III century and the layout of the medieval Drastar.
